X=Y-7

4X+2Y=62

4(Y-7)+2Y=62

4Y-28+2Y=62

6Y=62+28

6Y=90

Y=90/6

Y=15
Larger number^

X=15-7=8
Smaller number^
PROOF:
4*8+2*15=62

32+30=62

62=62
Hope this helps.

What is the value of StartFraction 1.6 times 10 Superscript 14 Baseline Over 3.2 times 10 Superscript 7 Baseline EndFraction in
Helga [31]

Answer:

5.0 times 10 Superscript 6

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the value of StartFraction 1.6 times 10 Superscript 14 Baseline Over 3.2 times 10 Superscript 7 Baseline?

This is represented mathematically as:

1.6 × 10¹⁴/ 3.2 × 10⁷

Solving for this

1.6 × 10¹⁴/ 3.2 × 10⁷

= [1.6/3.2] × 10¹⁴-⁷

= 5 × 10⁶

= 5.0 times 10 Superscript 6

Hallar la ecuación de la recta que pasa por el punto P(-3,-1) y por el punto de intersección de las rectas 2x − y = 9 y 3x − 7y
adell [148]

Answer:

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the coordinate of the point of interception of the line 2x - y = 9 and 3x - 7y = 19

Make y the subject of the formula in both expressions

For 2x  - y = 9

- y = 9- 2x

y = 2x - 9

Similarly for 3x - 7y = 19

-7y = 19 - 3x

7y = 3x - 19

y = 3/7 x - 19/7

Equating both expressions

2x - 9 = 3/7 x - 19/7

Multiply through ny 7

14x - 63 = 3x - 19

14x - 3x = -19 + 63

11x = 44

x = 44/11

x = 4

Since y =2x - 9

y = 2(4) - 9

y = 8-9

y = -1

Hence the coordinate of intersection is at (4, -1)

Get the equation of the line passing through (-3, -1) and (4, -1)

Slope m = -1+1/4+3

m = 0/7

m = 0

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 0 and (-3, -1) into y = mx+b

-1 = 0(-3) + b

-1 = b

b = -1

Get the required equation

Recall that y = mx + b

y = 0x + (-1)

y = -1

Hence the required equation is y = -1

21 is what percent of 40
-Dominant- [34]
To solve for this, set up a proportion.
21/40 = x/100.
Cross multiply the fraction's numerators with the denominators; 
21 x 100, 40 and x.
2100/40x.
Divide both numbers by 40 to get x.
2100/40 = 52.5
21 is 52.5% of 40.
I hope this helps!
